Strength Training Aid
I started of having an idea of exactly what I wanted to make but
then I decided that there was so much I could do with my product.
The style of the product was difficult because we did not have the
faciliCes to bend steel so it had to be made out of straight lines
which did disrupt the style that my design could be in. I did
eventually aDer many parts of my planning come up with a design
which fiFed the criteria and I began to plan specifics.
In this process I had to plan to fit in parts from my iniCal plan which
was difficult because the more I added the more complicated and
Cme consuming. My product became but eventually I got the
perfect design. When I got round to making it was very Cme
consuming because there was over 100 cuts of metal and my
product was of site geKng welded and powder coated a lot of the
Cme which prohibited what I could do. The design did come
together in the end though and is strong and aestheCcally pleasing,
so it performs well.
